Stuff from Comments that should be seen
Been getting some great stuff in comments lately, much of which deserves to be seen on the main page. I really appreciate all the comments that I get, thanks everyone!
This is a week or so old now, but a commenter tells me of an unfortunate situation over at Gabriel Park
Speaking of park safety, our van was broken into in the south parking lot while my son and I were walking in the park today. The passenger side glass was shattered. Just a word of warning to anyone who might park over there.
So you might want to take the usual precautions, and be a little more watchful that usual. I know it’s easy to get used to the relative safety we have here and get lax with leaving stuff in your car, leaving a door unlocked, or (especially timely in the summer) a window open. Of course, even if you don’t do any of these things, you can still be the victim of a property crime. Smash and grabs are rare though - it’s unfortunate to hear this…
Russell Senior from Personal Telco tells me…
Just wanted to mention that Personal Telco installed a node in the Lucky Lab in Multnomah Village about a week ago. This has been in the works for some time, but only just recently did it get off the ground. Sorry for the delay! If other folks would like to host a PTP node in Multnomah, please contact us (info@personaltelco.net). Thanks!
This is totally cool news - I’ll schlep my PowerBook up there shortly and check out the signal.
Scandal!
JUICY SUITS: Saab and Volvo Dealer Fingered for Rip-Off
http://www.wweek.com/wwire/?p=9079
It’s one thing for a car dealer to sell a lemon. It’s quite another to take the car back and give no money in return. That’s what one customer claims happened at Saab and Volvo by Mats, a dealership at 3011 SW Canby St., in a lawsuit filed Monday in Multnomah County Circuit Court. Customer Vicki Cohen accuses the dealership and its owner, Mats Almfeldt, of selling her a 1999 Saab 9-3 in January 2006 for $9,141 without telling her it had once been totaled.
